The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-07-07
Tobacco Crumbs.


The GOLD LEAF last week told of the
big tobacco stemming establishment of /
Messrs Allen & Ginter, now in course of |
erection i'm Henderson and now we learn !
that enquiries are being made by another |
big concern about coming here. We are |
not aStOnished at this turn of affairs. The
surprise to US has been that such big estab- |
IiShments have not thus identified them
selves with our market before. This is in
dlsputably the place for them. Henderson
is pre-eminently the market of the bright
tobacco belt and large dealers and manu-
facturers throughout the country are fast
recognizing the fact.
The tobacco crop of Virginia and North
Carolina is put down at about 60 per cent.
of an average crop. This is the estimate
Of the Greensboro Southern Tobacco J0ttr-
nal after careful investigation.
The sales of tobacco have been heavier
since the rains, putting the weed in good
condition for stripping out and bringing to
market.
Car load sheet iron in store. Harvey's
best cleaned iron only used in making
fues. Give your order earl y.
